Members of Pax Christi Little Rock participated in the “Take a Knee” for Justice Rally at the historic Hoover Methodist Church in Little Rock.

2019 Peace Week
To celebrate Peace Week and as part of the peace curriculum in the Arkansas Catholic Schools, the art teacher and students at St. Theresa School in Little Rock painted a Peace Tree mural on the wall in the cafeteria. Then, every student personalized a tracing of their hand to make a rainbow of leaves to place on the tree. The children at Rockefeller Elementary will carry peace signs in our Peace Walk with them tomorrow morning! Such beautiful, generous children!
September 18 – “Hugs and High Fives” We had music playing and greet everyone with a hug or high five when they come in. We get a lot of great smiles and feedback from parents about this one!
September 20 – We took our school Peace Day photo following an assembly. It’s gotten better every year. The theme for this year was “Climate Action for Peace” so our design is a flower with a peace symbol growing out of our basketball court.
Peace Rally and Vigil
There were about 40 people holding signs and enjoying the speakers and music that reminded us “never again.”
